Demetri Mitchell

[Nailsea Hibby]

Surprised nothing be said about the below seems to be happening. Blackpool’s Demetri Mitchell is closing in on a move to Hibernian, as detailed in a report by the Blackpool Gazette (https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/january-transfer-window-blackpools-current-state-of-play-with-seven-days-to-go-3538593).Blackpool left him out of the squad in their Championship fixture against Millwall over the weekend. Mitchell, 25, travelled to Edinburgh on Friday to finalise his transfer and have a medical.
The Blackpool Gazette reports (https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/january-transfer-window-blackpools-current-state-of-play-with-seven-days-to-go-3538593) that the deal is expected to go through as the wait for official confirmation ensues. :greengrin

[ekhibee]

From what I saw the Blackpool fans weren't that bothered about him leaving, but he was good when he was with Hearts so might be a decent signing. Providing he's not injured.

Maybe the deal has collapsed because he couldn’t find Easter Road or East Mains. After all, a couple of years ago he said he had never heard of Hibs. :stirrer: :greengrin

Welcome, Demetri!

That video is superb. There's no point in trying to hide from those things, put them front and centre and you take away any power they have.

[gbhibby]

He used to be a Jambo but he's ok now.

[007]

Good video, hopefully does the job and puts to bed any beef some fans might have.

[number9dream]

He was good in his first spell at Hearts, although that’s a wee while ago now. Did well to help get Blackpool promoted.
Do you reckon this means we’re not in the hunt for Charles-Cook? I like the look of him for County this season.

I don’t know if we have ever been in for Charles Cook but I imagine Mitchell is coming in to play LWB so don’t think it would impact it if we were in for him.

We had both Eckersley & Rherras for a period of time. Don’t think either of them made an appearance.

[Carheenlea]

Adding a bit of pace to the side is no bad thing in the absence of Martin Boyle, and can play in a couple of different positions. Sounds like a positive signing, and he looks to have a bit of character about him as he hammed it up for an entertaining club tweet.

Look forward to seeing him play.

We could probably field a team of ex Jambos with Alan Gordon and Willie Hamilton being the standouts. If we stretch things, 2 great Hibees, and both in our Hall of Fame, Eric Stevenson and Peter Cormack, were both on Hearts' books as youngsters.

Yep fully agree, serious pace (with ability) is always welcomed. Just what we need.

[GloryGlory]

There's been lots of toing and froing over the decades between us and Hearts.

The late great Gordon Smith is one from us to them, as is the not so exalted or lamented Brian Hamilton. Loads the other way, too.

We’ve spent the first half of the season crying out for depth, every incoming doesn’t mean an outgoing starter.

[Cat Stanton]

From what I saw the Blackpool fans weren't that bothered about him leaving, but he was good when he was with Hearts so might be a decent signing. Providing he's not injured.

Not quite true. Just had a look - most are very positive about him, and all seem to be wishing him good luck. Sounds like he was a favourite early on, but struggled a bit after then getting an injury. Lots saying there is a lot of potential there. I was quite heartened reading it.

[superfurryhibby]

Tbf the poster asked have we signed a good one ? :).

Who cares? Just for you though, I’ll quote every post that mentioned the gash ones and let them know:aok:

The only good Jambo is a Hibee Jambo.

[Since90+2]

He's better than Murphy and Scott who've played in that position this season so it's a yes for me. Don't really care about any previous comments.

[WhileTheChief..]

This isn’t a criticism, but it feels like his agent has simply touted him to us and we’re thinking we might as well give it a go.

It’s too much of a coincidence that our scouts stumbled upon an ex Hearts player and I doubt we’ve been keeping tabs on him since he left Scotland.

I don’t think we’d give someone a two and a half year deal just to give them a go, even if I’m a bit unsure about the signing.

[BILLYHIBS]

Thought he was excellent his first spell at Hearts where he was utilised effectively as an overlapping wingback and looked useful against us on more than one occasion

His second spell with them not so much but think he got a bad injury

Ex Man Utd IIRC ?

Seems like you’ll find any reason at the moment to criticise Hibs recruitment.

[GRA]

Spoke to couple of Hearts pals and they rated him highly during his couple of loan spells there. Both times he started off bang in form. 1st spell he got injured and 2nd loan spell lost confidence under the useless management of Levein.

I couldn't care less about comments he made over four years ago. If he can recapture the early form in his loan spells then he'll be exactly what we need.

[Bostonhibby]

Family yam reckons he was a good prospect, but not physical enough for them at that time. He doesn't really do humour, or generosity now that I come to think of it, so unlikely to be a wind up. We'll see.

Players quite often get a bit of a slagging off when they leave, but Blackpool fans have wished him well and generally regard him as being a bit unlucky picking an injury up in pre seaon, he sounds a bit of a character.

Some of our best signings in recent years have come from agents simply touting their players to us. Marciano for one wasn’t scouted, he came from an agent Lennon regularly used. Similarly the signings of Kamberi and McLaren were touted to us by ex-Pro Mark Fotheringham. For players under contract at clubs, without agents advising of us on their potentially availability they’d unlikely be on our radar.

[thebausburst]

Described in Blackpool fans forum as being ‘on fire’ preseason then got injured and couldn’t get back in the team, so sounds promising 👍

[JohnMcM]

Aye Fraser Mullen. Was touted as a bit of a coup picking him up as Hearts had to cut loads of their squad loose because of the administration, and he was supposed to be a real prospect.

Made an inauspicious start, then got injured and was never seen again.

Like most, if not all of our signings, the jury is out until I've seen them play a few games. Initial thoughts are that Rocky and Mueller look real finds but don't want to Judge either way too soon.

[BlackSheep]

The lad spent 10 years in the Man United Academy and even made it to the first team squad, that there says a lot, more than any Jambo related rubbish folk are spouting.

Was released by United during their long period of uncertainty and the club looking at buying success instead of breeding it.

Around 5 years ago he was touted as the next big thing at Man U and unfortunately for him the revolving door of management probably put pave to his progression.

Give him time, im sure he will be an asset.

If only people had the same opinion of Kevin Thomson.

You’re joking right ? Mitchell once said “who are Hibs”

Thomshun on the other hand….

You win todays whataboutery biscuit, for comparing Mitchell with an entirely different situation altogether.

[Callum_62]

He will be a big threat at corners [emoji44]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220125/9ec770e1c0215db06c3a8ce2552d7347.jpg

Think he’s decent at free kicks also so that’s a positive.

[Diclonius]

I won't be satisfied until he forgets who Hearts are in a press conference. Disgrace. Maloney out.

[WhileTheChief..]

Some of our best signings in recent years have come from agents simply touting their players to us. Marciano for one wasn’t scouted, he came from an agent Lennon regularly used. Similarly the signings of Kamberi and McLaren were touted to us by ex-Pro Mark Fotheringham. For players under contract at clubs, without agents advising of us on their potentially availability they’d unlikely be on our radar.

Yup, that’s why I said it wasn’t a bad thing, just a bit strange.

Seems to have upset a few folk though.

It’s not strange at all though, it’s entirely normal and happens at all levels of the game.

how can you compare with Judas?:no way:

[heretoday]

Mitchell was right.

I often ask myself: Who are Hibs?

[Stanton Spence]

If only people had the same opinion of Kevin Thomson.I don't think you can even compare with what Thomson continues spew out with what Mitchell said

Thomson got hounded for ten years when he made comments about Collins as a daft wee laddie.

If they do the job for the club it doesn't really matter what is said. Which could be the same as Thomson the manager also.

[Keith_M]

Ralph Callachan. Eric Stevenson. Chris Shevlane. Jason Cummings. Not necessarily in that order.


Did you lift your glasses when you posted that?

I agree with you on as long as he does the job for hibs now and I hope he does. He can bring us a bit more balance to the side at least

The lad spent 10 years in the Man United Academy and even made it to the first team squad, that there says a lot, more than any Jambo related rubbish folk are spouting.

Was released by United during their long period of uncertainty and the club looking at buying success instead of breeding it.

Around 5 years ago he was touted as the next big thing at Man U and unfortunately for him the revolving door of management probably put pave to his progression.

Give him time, im sure he will be an asset.

Colin Murdock spent a few years at the Man U academy :flamed:

different option if we have a lefty and a right standing over a free kick.

Heh, good on him. To put it kindly big Col did not inspire the most confidence in the fans but he was quite the hero for majestically stroking away his penalty against EBT cheating Rangers with his left peg.

Rangers need to score to win - Danny Anderson saves.

Up steps Murdoch (oh naw) scores.

De Boer - hits post.

Great night.

Just like any player I will give them a chance before judging them. A winner next week would be a good start.

Go on Demetri, make our day ! Score at the Dunbar End !

There's a decent article in the Blackpool gazette about Mitchells time at Blackpool
I wasn't sure how his career went after leaving them but after reading the article it seems he was playing out off his skin pre season and was their top performer until an injury at Morecambe

Interesting that Maloney said in his interview that he wanted Mitchell as soon as he was given the job. So this is someone he’s been after specifically rather than someone Hibs have been looking at

Can we open it again with Michael Stewart?

He certainly seems to be unlucky with injuries. From that POV we are taking a punt on him I suppose, but he was decent going forward in his first spell with Hertz and seems to have been the same at Blackpool off and on. As for his decision making, Ivan Sproule was the poster boy for picking the wrong option and when he first came to Hibs Martin Boyle was the same though he improved quite a bit .... neither player ended up being considered a failure here, far from it in fact, and if Demitri can sort out that side of his game he could be a real asset.

As for his shooting .... I wouldn't worry about that, I can hardly think of any season out of the last 5 or so that Hibs have scored more than a tiny handful of goals from outside the box, in fact our woeful long range shooting has become a bit of a theme for quite a while now, so on that score Mr Mitchell should fit right in. :greengrin

In fact on a serious note ... how often do any of our players even attempt to shoot from distance, it hardly ever seems to happen, do they even practice it in training?

Not very often since Mallan left though Mueller looks like he's willing to shoot from distance, which I'm happy to see.

Mitchell is comfortable on either wing, as a traditional left winger or cutting in from the right, he'll not be competition for Doig, he'll be used in attacking way. The benefit he brings is he's a decent wingback to cover Doig if needed.

Yup. Mitchell is all about attacking.
